[ah, Venice.]

It explains a lot that Indiana Jones was really my first introduction to the world of academia.

(I am still waiting for my chance to frolick through Venice with a lovely professor of my own. I could do without the rats, though.)

Duncan, Ohio contender for World's Cutest Nephew, [thinks he] knows about academia because his mother is a grad student. This leads to such misconceptions as "They don't have classes in college! Duh!"

But last year I overheard this conversation between him and his mother (my sister), after he'd spent a week at a family funeral.

Ann:What grade is [each cousin] in?
Duncan: [guesses various numbers until he gets them right.]
...

A: What grade is Martha in?
D: Martha who was here?
A: Yes.
D: She isn't in ANY grade any more!
A: Well, you said I was in Grade OSU, so Martha is in a grade like that. Do you remember where Martha is going to school?
D: VAN COUVER! And, did you know, akshally, she's going to be an ARCHAEOLOGIST! LIKE INDIANA JONES! Oh, and Mummy? I know what we should get her for her birthday!
A: Oh?
D: A WHIP!!

No, no, you are going to BE the professor who leads the frolicking!

No, see, Indy and the woman with whom he frolicked were BOTH professors. Of course, she turned out to be a Nazi spy, but hopefully I will not have that problem.

Coming to a museum near us (hopefully) sometime in the next six years:
